RROD was designed to prevent piracy?

Why would they destroy their system to prevent piracy?

its a defect caused by cheap components that ms put into the console. it has nothing to do with piracy.

ms are at fault for the rrod issues. nothing else. no tinfoil hat conspiricies :roll:

enlighten yourself

if you're sending your console back into ms every year to fix the rrod you'd be less eager to modify your xbox? This is just a theory.Tony-Baxter

Well, if that's true, it's not working.

The 360 is by far the easiest console for piracy I've seen since the PSOne/Dreamcast. You don't have to open it up, or anything, and every game is available off the 'net.

Luckily, I don't DL pirated games, but I have at least 6 buds that do. They are playing all kinds of games like Fallout 3 to RockBand 2, on Burned DVD's. It's so crazy and so easy.

So, you may have a point, but for a pirater, they would probably buy another used 360 rather than use M$ for a warranty.

Thats a good deduction, but I don't believe thats was what was in mind.

I really don't think Microsoft would go as far as that to prevent piracy. ONLYDOD

Yeah, that seems a little extreme, either way, they are going to lose money.

no, they destroyed their system bcuz they suck at making hardware (and software too)

considering its MS, they dont have a that big of a problem with piracy, as long as it doesnt affect the sales of their system

No, it's not. If they wanted a piracy proof console they would just require an online connection to play.

Oh yeah, and AIDS was made by the government to kill black people.YankeeDan345

No, it was made to kill gay people.

Get your facts straight.

Let's see here.

Piracy causes companies to lose money.

Therefore, the RROD (which caused MS to lose massive amounts of money) is preventing piracy?

Do you see how this logic fails, TC?

Losing money vs. Losing more money to prevent losing money =/= piracy prevention... :|

modding your 360 doesnt cause the rrod!daveg1

Now you don't even know what your talking about....he never said it did he just said that His friend had a modded one and it got a rrod

What?

Nobody even has a confirmed Jasper model yet. THey should be avaiable in sotres within the next week or so.

RROD = software company trying to make hardware on their own and trying to save some $$$

XBL = software company doing what they do best

Actually they now have samples of people with the virus in the 1960s. They also believe the virus first started in the period between 1880 - 1920.

the pirates could probably fix rrod anywayimprezawrx500

Wrong.

There has not been one confirmed Jasper out yet.

The reports of them being found in early Oct. / late Spet. have been confirmed to be untrue.

Here's another one from just 10 days ago:

http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3424

Try to find me one confirmed case of a Jasper 360 being owned and documented. You can't do it.

" You see, the Jasper has not been documented in the wild just yet, so we're all working on speculation and rumor at this point. Engadget jumped the gun the other day based on some bad information from another site. The story was then picked up by a number of media outlets despite the retraction from Engadget. The result is mass confusion about the true status of Jasper and my primary goal here is to set that straight. My secondary goal is to help others identify Jasper as well. "

People are now saying that they expect to be able to find some within the next week or two weeks, but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm glad someone said it, Aids conspiracies are some of the most ridiculous out there.

I think I know where he was trying to get, but that still doesn't make much sense.

pirate often know pleanty about hardware. rrod is often fixed but putting a beter heatsink of the cpu/gpu or bigger fans etc. not hard for those who know a bit about hardware
